Nalu is a Hawaiian word that refers to water, more specifically to a wave. This design was made from sticks found on the beach after a big rain here on the North Shore. Large rains will wash out debris from local rivers, and the ocean currents and tides will push debris up onto the beach. The word “nalu” also subtly refers to contemplation and meditation, something that is hard not to do while sitting in the surf or riding a wave in such a magical and beautiful place.
